Suit Filed against Bernalillo County to Obtain Compensation for Inmate who was Assaulted in Jail by Another Inmate
Our client was an inmate at the Metropolitan Detention Center who suffered severe head and brain injuries when he was attacked by another inmate due to a dispute over a tablet computer. We intend to show that Bernalillo County created a dangerous situation in the jail by introducing a limited number of tablet computers into each pod of the jail and by failing to establish adequate protocols and systems to ensure that disputes regarding the tablet computers would not escalate into inmate-on-inmate violence.
